Never knew you could get one that changes colour !

It is addictive, that shove when they change up. Great collaboration Joe.

Had the JCW clubman (before the power upgrade) - changed for an m140i, would keep the m140, but if I had to choose between the new m135 and new JCW clubman, it would 100% be the clubman.

TBH you need to have a drive of this car, I had a JCW Hatch for 3 years from new, changed it for one of these and its bloody fast, comfortable and I just love it to bits. I specified the adaptive dampers, comfy ride in normal mode and very good in sports mode. I went for the all leather seats though which are really nice.

Jon Well I decided to spec in on my last car (JCW Hatch) bought new in 2016. It was pretty firm in sports mode but reasonable in mid mode which made it more comfortable for driving on poor road surfaces. With the JCW Clubman, I went for it again as it just gives you a bit of choice on whether you want a softer or firmer ride. The Clubman is a much more refined ride especially in mid mode when the dampers are on the softer setting. If you want to press on , the sports mode seems to ride better than my last car, with the dampers firmer but the ride is not as choppy as my last hatch. The ride is excellent on the Clubman. I put it down to the longer wheelbase and the fact that Mini has done some good work on upgrading the suspension and chassis on this car. The only Clubman I drove to compare it with was a Cooper S version loan car. The ride was ok until you started pushing it as there was a fair bit of wallowing around bends. I think this new Clubman is ace and I think for me the variable dampers was a good choice.

Monty Zumazoom I agree, my clubman feels awesome to drive, and is a massive step up from the one before which I also owned. I’ll be looking to swap to the new X3, most likely when the 3 years is up. Thank you for replying, and enjoy your car.

fascinating and not often seen close comparison, great collaboration, nice work Joe, I'm subscribed 👍

I heard the notorious MINI giggle 😂 the most fun car I’ve ever driven. I think my Countryman must be bigger in the back than the Clubman. I had a 6’3 person in back without an issue. Thanks for the content!

Two great cars and a great video as well

short sleeves and sunshine😎☀️...great vid, Joe👍

Nice one Joe! Cool cars indeed! Should have put a Brompton in to see the true size of the Clubmans boot! ;-)

Nice to hear you thoughts across the both cars. Think I would have to stick to BMW if I had to choose between the two. Couldn't agree more with the pair of you about tyres!!

Eyyy big up Great Shefford at 10:00!!

Loved the video. I have a first gen 6 speed swapped R50 mini cooper.

I had a mini one 7 or 8 years ago. Was like a go cart and amazing fun even though it wasnt very fast. I've had jaguars and bmws since and now I'm about to get this clubman because nothings been as fun as that mini one.

I've owned M3's , Rs's etc etc and as you said I challenge anyone to drive one then say it wasnt fun. I got the bug and bought a R60 JCW all4 and have loved every minute of it. It's not the quickest car but its alot of fun. The only issues I've had with Mini is aftersales and Reliability. Aftersales isn't great and the reliability is shocking. They cost alot to maintain for sure but I think worth it.

A mini is a restyled 1-series. We all know this by now! lol

Something you mentioned on Peds video, the once in a lifetime thing. The back catalogue reads e87 130i, the e82 135i, then f20 m135i/m140i and now the f40 m135i. Every single one previously has been 6cyl rwd, none perfect obviously and emissions regs etc but having owned the e82 135i, the engine was a huge draw for me and I suspect most buyers of the faster versions. Porsche have found a way to put the 6cyl back in the Cayman/Boxster, come on BMW!

I would have the MINI. The F5x era MINI has never been a pretty car, it’s dimensions are are all out of whack. But having said that, it’s still a better looking car over the new 1. I’m not against a 4 cylinder BMW, some of them have been legendary (318iS, e30 m3 etc), but I am when it looks like a Korean hatchback.

Would have the M135i

Why do you think they have brought out the new M135i with less power than the Previous M140i? Do you think BMW have done this to save space for say a M145i with 380 hp? But then wouldnt that mess with the M2?

M135i sounds a bit meatier. The price of these cars (and cars in general) is becoming ridiculous. Nearly 40 grand for a mini

Interested in how low you can sit in the mini, that’s one of the problems with FWD transverse engined platforms like both of these, I hate riding up like a CUV. Also, anyone know if you can get a manual? I would definitely take the mini over the new 1er, at least it’s traditionally a transverse platform unlike that other traitorous abomination.

Use Mini S vs M135i instead. Otherwise will need an Alpina version to really compare apples with apples.

I know it seems difficult to imagine a mini being better than a BMW, a Skoda as good as a VW. I would suggest driving both if you have not done

Mini too big. Bmw too FWD.

I’d choose the Mini Clubman….and did… because of the style and it’s more fun to drive. I am not anti BMW …. My 2nd car is an X5 but the mileage on my Mini is double the X5 even though they were purchased at the same time. Why? Because the Clubman is so much more exciting to drive and easier to maneuver in the city.
